So now you cant bench a player in one game cause he is having a terrible game and costing the team that day? So what is a coach to do? If the whole starting 5 is terrible that day, what would you do in that situation?
It's cats getting a lion's share of the minutes and touches jumping in the portal. It's the wild west now. Those days are long gone.

No I definitely agree. It was far better that way.
You literally have all the scores on top of the screen so you know when it's a close game or when a game is nearing its end, if you need CBS to dictate what game you want to see and can't actually do it for yourself I don't even know what to tell you :yeshrug:. I don't know how having the access to see every game is seen as a negative

At the end of the day, everyone is gonna jump in the portal so its whatever. All players are 1 year rentals (which to be fair, has always been the case). I want all these kids to get this money, cause this aint gonna last long. Many programs will be falling to D2 or D3 and will not be able to compete with this money race, so get it while you can.

On the flip, as the coach, since I cant trust in you to stay through one tough game where you didnt get minutes, I then gotta go with finding a player who can make buckets for me TODAY, and if you are off, then you gotta sit on the bench and I gott find someone who can produce.

Multiple Illinois players in the portal today/yesterday. Rumors are they're not happy with how rigid their roles in the offense are, and lack of development.

So at this point (football and basketball), I have no idea what any kid expects on a team these days. Every team cant have 12 1st options. And every kid isnt a first option to begin with. So, money aside, what do kids want these days on teams?

Agents pissing in their ears about getting more money from xyz school. They need to be patient and develop and have a conversation w/ their current coach about what their role will be.

Yea we need to get KM in foul trouble for sure. And I think we can attack their defense, it’ll just come down to whether or not the shots are falling
We still have 2 other big guys. I'm just hoping Coop is aggressive like he was in the Arizona game. I'm worried about Kon getting in foul trouble on the switches with yall guards. Zona was was doing that, he kept getting matched up with Caleb Love. Hopefully Sears and Aiden not sorching from 3 again :russ:
